[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Device tree incomplete?

Interesting, thanks for checking. What happens when you just copy over the
openSUSE dtb file? Do they apply any custom patches to their kernel build?

Given that we literally just copy the file (see
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-raspi/raspi3-firmware.git/tree/debian/kernel/postinst.d/raspi3-firmware#n37),
perhaps this needs to be addressed in the kernel Debian packaging?

Please keep us posted!
